Looks very nice Kat.  :o [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Wow this tread has been going along time!
I REALLY like the idea of each category (i.e. Comercial, Cargo, etc...) having their own personalized concourse with the tower in the middle of them all. Also i like the concept of having each linked by only one or two taxiways (maybe one for each direction around the circle?) I disagree with having taxi-ways spell "SIM-V" I don't find it realistic enough, but it would look nice to have some signs or maybe something you could see from the air (sort of like a sign laying down). I'm sure that people have started with AFCAD, but if by chance nobody has...i'd be willing to try my part at it (not the best, but i could get it done). Thanks for listening to my input.

Please note that I already created the general runways,taxiways and parking a long time ago and then sent them to kat. Kat can change them if he wants but it would be easier if we didn't have to do that. Screenshots of the airport plan are somewhere deep in this thread.  ;D

I just sort of picked up toward the end and didn't force myself to read through the first 10 pages. i saw others talking and followed then pattern. still can't wait for the airport. thanks

Just so you all know, I have decided to setup a group using Google. This group will consist of everyone who is already involved in the design process of the new airport.

http://groups.google.com/group/simviati ... team?hl=en

You need to be invited into the group in order to join. If you want to be in the group, just PM me you e-mail address and I will send you an invite. Once you're in, you can post messages, upload and share files, and more. You can also request an invite through the link above.

Please note that the group only has 100 MB of webspace. If you're going to upload a file, make sure that it's essential to the project.

See you all there.

What do you think about a glass canopy?

[lilley]

Id say that was pretty awsome mate!

Are we  having a concorde for commercial as youve made, and maybe a F-14 or something for military, a piper for GA etc.. or...

Im not completely sure on all the aspects exactly but what i do know, and can see looks awsome, i really cant wait for this airport.

One last question from me, where exactly are we having this placed? I know this is the Europe one but im not sure where in Europe, is a big place...

Cheers

Seeing that military and general aviation aircraft don't normally use terminals, I think it would best to use aircraft-shaped hangars and passenger lounges. And for best possible control over how to place each terminal and hangar, maybe I should model each one as a separate *.bgl file so that each terminal and hangar can be moved independently without have to affect the others. What do you think?

EDIT:

Remember what I told you about the online group. Those who are involved in the project should send me a PM with their e-mail address in them so that I can add you guys to the group in Google.

I like that!!!

EDIT; How about we have the words 'SIMV' ROTATING on the top of the tower? The FlightSimWorld project had a similar idea proposed.

[spitfire boy]

[quote]Well we all finally have our own airport. I would suggest multiple runways. In all directions. They should be adequate to land most of SimV's aircraft. Taxi ways are a must. Try to have a really really long runway for aircraft tests and fun going head on collisions.

[lilley]

That would be an expensive game, not to mention the damage dne to the runway!!

Here is a shot of the B2-shaped hangar for the military folks. It's just a basic model for now, but it will look better over time.

I kind of like the concorde idea better.

Actually, the Concorde will be part of the project as well. The Concorde will serve as a passenger terminal [probably two of them], the military area will have a B-2-Bomber-shaped hangar, and the general-aircraft area will have a GA-aircraft-shaped hangar or lounge.

Don't forget that these are just preliminary models. They will improve visually over time. Just give them some more time to mature.

EDIT:

I am attempting to get some more help with the entire project by recruiting people into the design group. I have posted an advertisement in the "SimV Event" page of FSGV in order to draw in more members for help.

Second EDIT:

I have just posted new shots of the military hangar in the web group. You can check them out from there at http://groups.google.com/group/simviati ... team?hl=en

Hmm. It seems that everyone here has gone quiet since I got started on the project.
